Automatic Logistic Chests

Automatic Logistic Chests

Automatically configures item requests and inserter conditions for logistic chests, including passive provider, active provider, storage, requester, and buffer chests.

How It Works

1. Place a Crafting Machine: Start by placing a crafting machine, such as an assembling machine or furnace, and select a valid recipe.
2. Set Up Inserters: Connect the machine with inserters for both input and output as required.
3. Add Logistic Chests: Place the appropriate logistic chests (e.g., requester, provider, storage, or buffer). The mod automatically configures chests only at their initial placement if the machine and inserters are already set up.
4. Refresh Chests Manually as Needed: Use the manual refresh shortcuts to update chest requests or clear unused filters when necessary.

Logistic Chest Behavior

• Passive and Active Provider Chests: Configures inserter logistic network conditions to supply items when required.
• Storage Chests: Sets inserter logistic network conditions and applies a storage filter on the chest.
• Requester Chests: Automatically adds item requests based on the crafting machine's requirements.
• Buffer Chests: Configures both item requests and inserter logistic network conditions based on the setup's needs.

Integration Format

The mod allows you to customize the automatic configuration of logistic chests by specifying Ingredient Integrations and Product Integrations. If an entity is not specified in the custom integrations, the mod defaults to the standard recipe-based configuration.

• Format: entity-type=item[:quality],another-item[:quality];other-entity=item2.
• Use semicolons (;) to separate multiple entity definitions.

Example: entity1=item1;entity2=item2.

• Use commas (,) to list multiple items for the same entity.

Example: entity=item1,item2.

• The optional :quality part specifies item quality (e.g., uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, ...) and defaults to normal if omitted.

Note: Some of the examples below do not make sense gameplay-wise but are included to demonstrate the format.

Ingredient Integrations Examples

• Single Ingredient:

To have requester chests supply coal to furnaces:

  furnace=coal

• Multiple Ingredients:

If you want requester chests to supply iron-plate and copper-plate to assembling machines:

  assembling-machine=iron-plate,copper-plate

• With Quality Specification:

To request iron-plate of epic quality and copper-plate of rare quality for assembling machines:

  assembling-machine=iron-plate:epic,copper-plate:rare

Product Integrations Examples

• Single Product:

To have provider chests offer space-science-pack from rocket silos:

  rocket-silo=space-science-pack

• With Quality Specification:

To provide space-science-pack of legendary quality from rocket silos:

  rocket-silo=space-science-pack:legendary

Combined Ingredient And Product Integrations Example

For a comprehensive setup where:

• Furnaces request coal,
• Assembling machines request iron-plate:epic and copper-plate:rare,
• Rocket silos provide space-science-pack:legendary,

You can configure:

• Ingredient Integrations:

  furnace=coal;assembling-machine=iron-plate:epic,copper-plate:rare

• Product Integrations:

  rocket-silo=space-science-pack:legendary
